This is an 1740 Venetian edition of Andrea Palladio's architectural treatise, reissued by Angiolo Pasinelli with Francesco Muttoni's annotations and parallel Italian and French text for architects and builders. The plates show engraved architectural orders, with the Ionic and Corinthian capitals, cornices and bases drawn in elevation and profile with measurement lines, set within ornate baroque framing with scrolled pediments and urns. A designer could take the clean measured drawings of classical column orders and the decorative cartouches as references for proportion and ornament.
